Zenith Silver Pocket Watch, Made in Switzerland in 1910. Signed and in Working Order
A beautiful solid silver pocket watch manufactured by Zenith in Switzerland in 1910. This is an authentic Zenith, signed and hallmarked on all its parts. Zenith is a luxury watch manufacturer founded in 1865 in Le Locle, Switzerland, by Georges Favre-Jacot. The company experienced rapid growth from the outset, and in 1911 it adopted what would become its permanent name, Zenith. By 1920, the number of watches manufactured by the company had already reached two million. Today, the brand continues to operate as part of the LVMH Group. The company is what is known as a "manufacture d'horlogerie," a designation indicating that it produces its own components.
This watch is a fine example of the quality, beauty, and precision of Zenith models, having come to us in excellent condition. The watch's dial is very simple and elegant, made of white porcelain with Roman numerals and a seconds hand. The case is solid silver, as are the crown, bezel, and case backs. All parts bear hallmarks and stamps that guarantee the quality of the metal. The company name, Zenith, is printed on the dial; it is also engraved on the inside of the case back and on the movement. The case back is engraved with a plain coat of arms intended to hold the watch owner's initials, and on the inside we can see the company name, the hallmarks, and the numbers 2999902 and 9282.
The dust cover features a series of elegant inscriptions describing the watch's movement type and detailing the medals won by the company at exhibitions and events. Once again, on the inside of this piece, we find the hallmarks and the number 9282. The movement consists of small, delicate parts made of gold-plated and silver-plated metal. On it, we once again see the name "Zenith" engraved on the metal, as well as another serial number: 2101774. The movement is in excellent condition; all its components are original, and it has been serviced and adjusted to ensure perfect operation.
This magnificent Zenith pocket watch is a luxury item, both because of the precious metal from which it is crafted and because of its beauty, age, and the prestige of the brand that manufactured it over a hundred years ago.
